Ritu’s beach romance

Sun ‘’ Sand: Rituparna and Debshankar, who play a married couple in Shiboprosad-Nandita’s Aleek Sukh, had a day-long shoot on the Mandarmani beaches last week. “We shot a flashback song sequence. Through the song we get a glimpse of the couple’s happy married life which has since soured for various reasons. I have been to Mandarmani earlier but never during winter. The water was cold, but the sand on the beach was nice and warm for a barefoot stroll. It was a fun shoot,” smiled Rituparna, who plays homemaker Rambhani. Debshankar plays a doctor and Sohini Sengupta a patient of his who dies during childbirth. “Rambhani and Sohini share a very psychological relationship in Aleek Sukh,” revealed Rituparna.
